wholelottakaren (62) from Lincolnshire

A lively and outgoing soul, always on the lookout for something new or different to try and it would be good to find a kindred spirit to share new experiences with.

I'm not here for dating - I am not an online shopper - but I am happy to chat to folks along the way . If I send you a message, it will be in the spirit of friendship without any expectations, so saying 'hello' doesn't commit you to anything. I will answer all messages, even if I don't want to take it further. Politeness costs nothing more than the 30 seconds it takes to say ,'thanks for the message and good luck '

Personality wise Id like to think I’m good company to be with – a big girl with, I hope, a big personality to match. I'm self-confident enough to be ok with who I am - fat and feisty with an opinion ( usually ill-informed) on just about everything and more than willing to share it : ) I have a minor (to me) health issue ; it doesn't impact too much on my life but if you are seeking perfection , I'm afraid you won't find it here. If it matters that you know, just ask - I have nothing to hide.

I'm not afraid to be the butt of the joke but I can do serious when the need arises. I don't mind making a fool of myself and would like to meet people with a similar attitude. I'd say Im pretty down to earth and have very little interest in material stuff; I work to live. Of course, I appreciate nice things and good times but my happiness doesn't revolve round them so I'm not really swayed by displays of wealth - flashy cars, exotic holidays etc and I'm certainly not looking for a man to keep me.

As I have said ,I am not looking for a relationship but do enjoy male company and friendship If I had to describe my ideal male companion I would ' say just somebody normal /average/ whatever you want to call it; somebody who is good fun to be with, somebody with opinions who can have a conversation, somebody who is looking to live life rather spend it glued to reality tv shows and soaps.

I'm a great believer in fate and feel that if, and when, you ever meet the one you should be with, you will both know it. It would be nice to think that my perfect match is out there somewhere, but I'm in no rush and perfectly happy with my
life as it is. I'm willing to wait for what I want and maybe one day I may be pleasantly surprised.

So, the $64 000 question - what am I looking for? Good uncomplicated company, lively intelligent conversation and laughs would be a start and let's see where it goes. I would be quite happy to make new male friends but if the chemistry is there ... well it's there isn't it?
